When Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, the Third Reich started aggressive claims over territories outside Germany’s borders. The Nazis first captured Austria 1938, Hitler’s home country. Next, they forced Czechoslovakia to surrender half of its territories. Germany occupied the Czech regions, forcing Slovakia to split into a satellite state.

In 1939, students of the Medical Faculty at Charles University in Prague held a meeting to commemorate the formation of an independent Czechoslovak Republic. The Nazis brutally suppressed the gathering, resulting in a student Jan Opletal’s death. As a result, the students formed Anti Nazis demonstration.

On 17th November 1939, the Nazis rounded up nine protesters, executing them without trial. They arrested over 1,200 students and sent them to concentration camps. Only a few survived in the camp.
